Yugi and Bakura ran from the park to an alley between to large brownstone buildings across the street. They stopped in their tracks when they saw two figures in brown hooded robes hovering over a girl, who lay unconscious on the ground.
"Leave her alone!" Yugi yelled. The robed figures turned, without looking at them, and ran. Yugi turned to the girl, and began to shake her. "Come on, wake up," He urged. Bakura felt her neck; there was a strong pulse. "She's alive. She must've just fainted."
"Come on," Yugi said. "Let's get her to my place. Grandpa will know what to do." Bakura scooped the girls limp body into his arms. Her long white hair hung nearly to the ground, and the tan dress she was wearing was tattered.
The two walked back to the Game Shop in silence. Both were alarmed about what they'd seen, and Bakura couldn't help but feel like these robed people had something to do with the disappearance of the Millennium Ring. As he contemplated this, he noticed the curious stares of some passerbys. He knew it must look strange that he was carrying this unconscious girl in his arms.
When they got back to the Game Shop, Tea was still on the couch while Joey and Tristan played video games. When they walked in the room, Tea was biting a nail, and the boys were screaming at the television.
"What happened?" Tea asked, wide-eyed. The boys paused the game to see what was going on. Yugi left the room to go get his grandpa.
"She was attacked," Bakura said. Tea stood up so he could lay the girl on the couch. "She looks kinda strange," Joey said. "Yeah," Tristan agreed. "I can't explain it, but it's like she's from a different time, or some far away village or something. She's beautiful."
"You would go there," Tea rolled her eyes. Just as Grandpa Moto walked in, the girl awoke with a start. Almost immediately after opening her blue eyes, she sat up and began screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Get him away from me!" She screamed when she saw Bakura. She grabbed on to Tea's arm, and clung to it for dear life.
"What did I do?" Bakura asked.
"Y-you tried to hurt me, in the alley."
"Actually," Yugi explained, "We were the ones who saved you." The girl grew silent, still clinging to Tea's arm.
"Well, one of them looked just like him," She pointed at Bakura. Everyone gasped.
"Alright everyone," Grandpa intervened. "Let's figure out what's going on here. What is your name, young one?" He asked the girl.
"My name's Kisara," She said. "I come from Egypt."
"Egypt? What brings you to Japan?" Joey asked.
"Japan?" the girl looked confused. "How did I…" she murmured. Kisara released Tea and began to cry softly. "I'm so lost. I don't remember anything." Yugi knelt down in front of her. "Don't you worry, we'll figure this out," he promised.
"Thank you!" Kisara hugged Yugi, catching him by surprise.
"I don't understand," Bakura said. "Those people in the Alley…you said one of them looked like me?"
"Um hmm," she nodded. "Only now I see the difference: his eyes radiated of darkness and evil, while yours are kind and gentle," she smiled.
"And that item," Kisara said, looking at Yugi. "The man who tried to attack me had one too. It was a circle with an un-even number of points connected to it."
"Like this one?" Bakura held out the spike from the Millennium Ring. Kisara looked afraid again. "Yeah," she whispered. "Exactly like that." Now, Bakura was almost completely sure that what ever had previously had control over his body was now walking about the city with his Ring, and was a very real threat. But why this girl, and who was the companion of this person?
"The other person…what did they look like? Bakura asked.
"He was a dark man. He had black hair, and his eyes were…red."
"Did they give you a name or somethin'?" Joey asked.
"No. I don't believe I heard either one of them say a name." Kisara said.
"Well young lady, I'm afraid it looks like you're in some kind of danger," Grandpa said. "It's getting late and you'll need a place to stay. I'd let you bunk here, but I'm afraid there's not enough room upstairs, and anyone passing by on the streets can easily see in down here. You wouldn't be very safe." Tea shook her head.
"I'm sorry, but you can't stay with me either. I'm going out of town tomorrow morning, and I won't be back until Wednesday. My Great-Aunt died and I have to go to her funeral in Canada." Joey and Tristan couldn't take her either. Tristan's parents were attentive and would never allow a girl to sleep in the house, and Serenity was coming to stay, so Joey and his father's apartment was out of question. It was left to Bakura, and now all eyes were on him.
